The work of preparin
3、g International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in li
4、aison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publicat
5、ion as an Inter- national Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard IS0 8439 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 154, Documents and data elements in administration, commerce and industry, in collaboration with the Universal Postal U

10、8439:1990(E) Forms design - Basic layout 1 Scope This International Standard specifies overall sizes, image areas, their division and data fields for forms intended for use within administration, commerce and industry. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through
11、reference in this text, constitute provisions of this international Standard. At the time of publi- cation, the editions indicated were valid. All stan- dards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of ap-
12、plying the most recent editions of the standards in- dicated below. Members of IEC and IS0 maintain registers of currently valid International Standards. IS0 216: 1975, Writing paper and certain classes of printed matter - Trimmed sizes - A and i3 series. IS0 353: 1975, Processed writing paper and c
13、ertain classes of printed matter - Method of expression of dimensions. IS0 3535: 1977, Forms design sheet and layout chart. IS0 4882: 1979, Office machines and data processing equipment - Line spacings and character spacings. IS0 6422: 1985, Layout key for trade documents. 3 Definitions For the purp
14、oses of this International Standard, the following definitions apply. 3,l basic depth spacing; bds: The preferred line spacing of 4,233 mm (I/6 in) in accordance with IS0 4882. 3.2 basic width spacing: bws: The preferred char- acter spacing of 2,54 mm (l/IO in) in accordance with IS0 4882. 3.3 data
15、field: Specified area used for a particular category of data. 3.4 form: Data carrier designed to carry a visible record of data entries. 3.5 image area: A predetermined area within which information can be entered for subsequent repro- duction, storage or transmission. 3.6 issuer (of a document): In
16、stitution, enterprise or person having issued a document and, by signing or otherwise, takes responsibility for the contents of the document. 3.7 margin: Space between an edge of the form and its adjacent image area. 4 Overall sizes, margins and image areas The primary overall sizes of this Internat
17、ional Stan- dard are A4 and A5L in accordance with IS0 216 and IS0 353. In conformity with annex A of IS0 3535 the following measurements apply: Left-hand margin 20 mm + I,0 mm Top margin 10 mm &- 5,O mm Image area for A4 size 183 mm x 280 mm Image area for A5L size 183 mm x 131 mm NOTE 1 When appli
18、cable, this standard may also be used with other A-sizes contained in IS0 216 or with commonly used non-IS0 standardized sizes. When document contents are to be exchanged between partners using different paper sizes, care should be taken that no information be placed outside the image area common to
19、 the paper sizes used. 1 Copyright International Organization for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with ISO Licensee=NASA Technical Standards 1/9972545001 Not for Resale, 04/27/2007 04:32:51 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- IS0 8439:1990(E) 5 Div
20、ision of image 5.1 Vertical division area The image area is divided into strips. The division and the numbering of the strips shall be in accord- ance with annexes A and B of IS0 3535. 5.2 Horizontal division 7.1 Figure 1 The image area is divided into columns in accord- ance with annex A of IS0 353
21、5, which depicts an A4 image area, divided into 72 basic columns. For reference and to facilitate a standard tabulation, the width of the image area may be subdivided. Im- age areas ha+ing a width of 72 bws (183 mm) may be divided into 8 columns, each 9 bws wide. This is shown in figurel, where the
22、column rules are des- ignated CO to C8. 6 Data fields The image area is commonly divided into data fields, of which Issuer field, Reference field and Ad- dress field occur frequently. 6.1 Issuer field is an area for the identification of the issuer of a document (name, logotype, etc.) and, if requir
23、ed, department of attending officer. Further issuer particulars (postal address, telephone number, telex and telefax addresses, etc.) which cannot be provided in the main field should be placed in an additional issuer field, preferably at the bottom of the form. * Left-hand margin 6.2 Reference fiel
24、d is an area for document identi- fier (document name), document code, dates and other references. 6.3 Address field Is an area reserved for one or two addresses. 7 Examples 7.2 Figure 2 Figure2 shows an example of the upper part of a form having an image area width of 72 bws (183 mm) and containing
25、 Issuer field, Reference field and Address field. In this example, the strips marked 9 to 17 constitute the Address field. Strip no. 09 is reserved for the heading of the address. In docu- ments designed to be placed in window envelopes, strips nos. 16 and 17 are left blank. NOTE 2 In the United Nat
26、ions Layout Key for Trade Documents (IS0 6422) only strips 10 to 14 are used for address particulars.
